I have recently faced following issue “HTTP test request failed, status code is 403. “Forbidden” ” on Management Point and was not Abel to connect MAC OSx Devices to the MP. To fix this issue, I followed the below steps and maybe you can do so.

Issue

We have HTTPS enabled on the Management Point for managing MAC OSx Clients and it is still not able authenticate. Due to this it is reporting this error.

Look at the IIS Log files under your inetpub folder for more details of the error. The log files are located under (C or D drive) \inetpub\logs\Logfiles\W3SVC1

As you see in the below highlighted line error code 403 13, which indicates an issue with Client Certificate Revocation (CRL) Check on IIS.

To fix this issue disable the Revocation check. Client Certificate Revocation is enabled by default. We need to delete all existing bindings on IIS and readd them again. The easiest way to do this is using the netsh command.

Run the below command line and make a note of the details
netsh http show sslcert
